Recently during my hubby's birthday, there was a small get together at home and I thought of preparing and serving moong daal halwa to give our kids flavour of original authentic dishes of our culture. So i prepared that, it needs lot of attention, care and love and only then you get the right output.

I was delighted that I could do justice with this as it came out very nicely and I got nice compliments on my cooking.

Preparation Time : 10 Min

Resting Time : 4 - 6 hours

Cooking Time : 45 - 50 Minutes

Ingredients

Moong Dal dhuli (split green gram skinless) 1 cup

Sugar 1 cup

Mawa Khoya 250 gram

Pure ghee 1 Cup

Almonds 15 -20 remove skin and sliced

Pistachio nuts 10 to 15 sliced

Saffron few strands

Water one cup

Procedure :

Dissolve almonds in water and keep a side for 6 hours, remove the skin and slice them

Wash and soak the moong dal for four to six hours. In a mixer grinding it coarsely using very less water

Prepare a sugar syrup with one cup sugar and one cup of water. Heat both of them together till you get a one string sugar syrup.

On a low flame keep cooking moong dal till it turns golden brown. This step needs time at least 35 - 40 minutes on low flame and continuously stirring it. The more you give love and time to this step your halwa will come nearer to perfection

Now add sugar syrup and saffron to this and mix it well with moong dal till they are perfectly mixed

Now add mava to this and cook till it is dissolved

Garnish it with almonds, pistachio and enjoy

Tips : It should be made on low flame on a non-sticky bottom heavy pan and stir it continuously to avoid it getting stuck to the pan
